Wine is experienced through different senses - sight, smell and taste – but over 90% of our sensory perception is derived from aroma. Inspired by Dr. Ann Noble's Wine Aroma Wheel, this innovative presentation was pioneered by Trinchero Family Estates where participants become familiar with common aromas while promoting a thought-provoking, fun competition.Participants learn how to define wine aromas, understand off-aromas (faults), and develop an aroma "vocabulary" to identify and discuss wines and their characteristic aromas (e.g., what does a great Cabernet Sauvignon taste like?). Hostess: Kimberly Manda, Regional Sales Manager – Trinchero Family Estates

You will definitely come out of this with new favorites, both planned and by accident. Hosts: Gus Magann, CWE and President of Vine Lore and Steven Rosenberg, Proprietor of Liberty Heights Fresh
